Women commuters

Published

IT is observed that our public buses do not have inadequate space for female passengers. On an average, not more than eight women can sit comfortably in the space provided.

Secondly, ladies usually have children with them and they also take up space in the ladies section. Then at times men also sit in the ladies area which is very disturbing for ladies. The authorities and the bus companies are requested to look into this matter.
